your people that we have determined to grant no

THE Chicago News concludes an editorial
on the defects of the public schools with the
remark that $50 long as-because of divers
political considerations-our schools are
turned into vehicles for the requirement of
foreign languages and of the accomplishments
of education, it may be expected that as means
for the requirement of even the rudiments of
an English education they will prove costly
failures" This seems to be the drift of intel
ligent opinion everywhere.

in learning that there is movement In Spain
against American alcohol, large quantities of
which employed in that country and France
in certifying" what is known to consumers as
the finer" brands of wine The Minister OF
State of Spain has been addressed on the subject
by the Chamber of Commerce OF Jerez de la
Frontern. a city in the center of the sherry wine
region. The report sets forth that the practice
of terrifying wines by alcohol distilled from
grain is most destructive to the healthfulness
and purity of the liquors, and recommends the
light wine alcohol for the purpose, and the i'm
position of prohibition tariff upon the Ameri-
can spirits. This disposes pretty effectually of
the fondly cherished delusion of wine consumers
that their favorite beverage, when of high grade,
is simply the fermented juice of the grape and
that the of alcohol it contains is trifling
and in no way injurious. According to such dis.
closures it appears that a glass of ''old wine,"
while perhaps more agreeable to the refined
taste, is yet quite full of possibilities as one
of Kentucky sour-mash.

THE recent death of Mr. w. G. DePauw was
made the occasion by good many Democratic
papers to assert that he owed his large fortune
mainly to the operation of the protective tariff
in his glass business. The New Albany Public
Press, Democratic free-trade paper. published
at Mr.. DePauw's late home, repels this charge
as follows:
Had not Mr.. DePauw have been worth mill
ions before he became a manufacturer of glass;
had he been deficient in pluck and persistent
tenacity the enterprise would have proved
high protection.
There can be no doubt that Mr. DePauw
suffered very severely, financially, by engaging
in the enterprise. not SO much on account Of pro-
lection n OF protecting. but from the fact of get
ting the business on its feet, contending against
home competition, which is far more damaging
than free trade. and amy other causes, not nee
